CONTEXT

Introduction

Violence in north-eastern Nigeria has continued to escalate in 2015; in early 2015 insurgents carried out deadly attacks in the states of Bauchi, Gombe, Kano and Taraba. As a result, more than 192,000 people have fled the country, and are currently seeking safety and protection in Cameroon, Chad and Niger. Over 1.2 million people have been displaced inside Nigeria, as well as significant numbers of nationals of Cameroon and Niger within their respective countries following cross-border attacks: 96,000 in northern Cameroon and 50,000 Niger’s Diffa region. In response to these attacks, Chad, Cameroon and Niger who are members of the Lake Chad Basin Commission, have engaged their armed forces to form a multinational force in the fight against the insurgency. The peaceful election of Muhammadu Buhari as President of Nigeria is likely to have a positive impact on the overall security situation in the North in the coming months.. Despite successes reported by the multinational force, the insurgents have continued to launch attacks in some of the areas covered by the multinational force. These insurgent attacks and military counter-attacks are expected to continue, and in some cases to result in further displacement both within and outside of Nigeria. In February 2015 UNHCR launched its second supplementary Appeal for the Nigeria Situation for a total amount of USD 71.5 million. Due to the further deterioration of the situation both inside Nigeria and in the countries of asylum, UNHCR declared the Nigeria situation an internal Level 2 emergency effective from 13 February 2015. The second Regional Refugee Response Plan (RRRP) for Nigeria launched on 9 April 2015 includes UNHCR and partners’ requirements for refugees in the countries of asylum. It provides a framework for emergency assistance to meet the immediate humanitarian needs of populations fleeing violence in northern Nigeria. Responding to protection concerns, as well as fulfilling basic needs and providing access to essential services (such as safety, food and non-food assistance, healthcare and education) are central to this plan. UNHCR, together with the Governments of the countries of asylum, will continue to implement protection monitoring activities and coordinate emergency assistance in close collaboration with UN agencies, international organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and other civil society partners. This revised Supplementary Appeal for the Nigeria Situation covers UNHCR’s requirements to protect and assist IDPs inside Nigeria, Cameroon and Niger, as well as the needs of refugees in the countries of asylum (Chad, Cameroon and Niger).. Inside Nigeria, UNHCR will focus more on capacity building, advocacy, protection monitoring, community-based interventions (including for host communities), child protection, and sexual and gender-based violence. The indication of 1.5 million IDPs in Nigeria in the previous appeal was based on the Humanitarian Country Team’s (HCT) estimation at that time. The current figure of 1.2 million IDPs in NIgeria is based on a registration managed by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and IOM using the Displacement Tracking Matrix. Although the estimated number of IDPs in Nigeria has decreased, the protection-related needs in Nigeria have in effect increased. UNHCR and other humanitarian actors now have an opportunity to better position themselves on the ground, not only to respond to the needs of displaced people in the north east of Nigeria, but also to prepare for the sustainable return of the displaced populations and seeks lasting solutions to the situation as a whole, including support for the Government and state authorities.

This Supplementary Appeal for the Nigeria Situation presents an overview of UNHCR’s revised requirements and is based on the operating principles of collaboration, coordination and complementarity amongst all stakeholders.

OVERALL STRATEGY AND COORDINATION

The attacks in north-eastern Nigeria and counter-insurgency operations have had a growing humanitarian impact on neighbouring countries. Today, there are some 74,000 refugees and about 96,000 IDPs in northern Cameroon and 18,000 refugees in Chad. In Niger, the number of displaced from Nigeria has grown to 100,000.

From the outset, UNHCR has been monitoring the evolving situation and providing protection responses and humanitarian assistance in collaboration with Governments concerned, other UN agencies and civil society partners. Where appropriate, the Refugee Coordination Model (RCM) has been offered and refugee response is being extended to non-refugee affected populations, in line with the provisions of the UNHCR-OCHA Joint Note on Coordination in Mixed Situations. UNHCR’s refugee response is being brought up to speed and the IDP response integrated into the overall coordination strategy. The evolving situation has led UNHCR in Cameroon, Chad and Niger to prepare contingency plans for a response to possible further deterioration of the situation and increased influxes. To build resilience and ensure balanced assistance and sustainability of interventions, support for host communities will also need to be integrated in UNHCR’s response.

UNHCR Nigeria will continue to undertake the lead role in protection through the implementation of a protection strategy approved by Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) in close coordination and collaboration with other members of the Protection Sector Working Group (PSWG). UNHCR will support the establishment and implementation of community-based protection networks for the estimated 90 per cent of IDPs currently living in host communities. UNHCR will scale up its presence and capacity in line with other humanitarian actors on the ground through rapid enabling measures to better reach vulnerable persons and monitor their situation, reduce the risk of further violations of rights during displacement and safeguard the lives of affected civilians, particularly women and children. UNHCR Nigeria will extend its support to national and state authorities, including the new National Assembly on the domestication of the Kampala Convention.

UNHCR’s Regional Office Dakar will continue to ensure planning and preparedness for any possible escalation of the situation in Nigeria. It will also assure the facilitation of strategic planning, seeking complementarities with other partners and stakeholders in the region, and the effective coordination of the Regional Refugee Response Plan, under the guidance of the Regional Refugee Coordinator, to ensure the delivery of protection and assistance to refugee populations in countries of asylum.

The Nigeria emergency has generated significant media interest, but the focus has been on the activities of insurgents and military, as well as on elections and related political developments. The human consequences of the emergency have been largely overshadowed. It is essential to highlight humanitarian operations across the Nigeria territory and give greater prominence to the needs of the Nigerians and host communities. Efforts will also be made to significantly increase media coverage of the Nigeria situation.

PLANNED RESPONSE

CAMEROON

Existing response

The number of Nigerian Refugees reported by the Government has increased from 50,000 to 74,000, mainly in in Mayo Tsanaga, Mayo Savo and Logone-et-Chari. The number of verified and pre-registered by UNHCR has also increased from 36,000 to 42,000, and currently 34 300 refugees are residing in Minawao Camp and are assisted by UNHCR and the humanitarian community in support of the Government. The camps are located in a semi-arid area where water and land for farming is scarce. The host community, located in three small villages around the camps, is mostly engaged in farming activities.

Since the start of the emergency, UNHCR, in collaboration with local authorities, has relocated thousands of refugees from the border towns of Mokolo and Mora to Minawao camp. Other refugees seeking safety are arriving spontaneously at the camps. A third group of Nigerians, however, have chosen to remain close to the border or in nearby villages deemed safe.

Security: The Government of Cameroon plays a critical role in providing security for refugees and humanitarian actors in operational areas. However, humanitarian actors’ impact remains severely limited by the security situation, poor road conditions and logistical challenges, which are hindering access to border areas and delaying transfer operations. The Government of Cameroon provides unlimited access to asylum and generously supports the refugee response through the provision of law enforcement staff to ensure security; through land allocated for the camp and a recent extension; and via line ministries who are collaborating closely with UNHCR and its partners.

Shelter: Emergency multi-sectoral assistance, which has been provided to beneficiaries in Minawao/Gawar camps, has improved living conditions. Nevertheless, UN agencies and NGO partners are working to address remaining gaps and are preparing for new arrivals.

UNHCR and partners are in the process of improving Minawao/Gawar site facilities by constructing community and family shelters, water, sanitation, health, and education infrastructures. Development of a third camp site to host new arrivals is being considered. Access to safe energy and potable water remains problematic. Minimum standards have not been reached; currently, only 14l/person/day of water is available; on average 26 persons share one latrine; and the standard 1:50 ratio for hygiene promoters has not been reached.

Water: UNHCR and partners have taken rapid measures to increase compliance with standards. These include: water trekking (transportation of and in camp distribution of water), the installation of bladders (water containers); and the hiring of additional staff to increase the number of latrines. However, building materials for latrines are scarce (e.g. wood in particular), and a geological assessment of the soil and groundwater indicates that over the long term, underground water levels will be affected if consumption is increased to comply with standards. A third site east of Maroua may be set-up if land is allocated by the Government for this purpose.

Health: One health post is currently serving more than 34,000 refugees. Staff are not sufficiently trained in the clinical management of sexual abuse and nutritional screening. Furthermore, outreach for home visits and follow-up on cases is insufficient. The referral hospital in Mokolo is supervised by only one doctor and does not have a blood bank. Drug supplies have run out in the past and a contingency stock is not yet available.

11

Income generation: UNHCR and its partners have been engaging in outreach and sensitization activities with the host community, in close collaboration with the Government, since the opening of the Minawao camp. Host communities are currently benefiting from income-generating activities that are carried out in the camp, and regular visits to the surrounding villages are undertaken to obtain feedback from the communities.

Education: Out of the total camp population, 68 per cent have not had any formal education, and only 23 per cent of the camp population have finished primary school. There are 16,992 school-aged children in the camp (4,111 for pre-school; 9,646 for primary and 3,215 for secondary school), but only 10,191 are currently enrolled in school (1,724 in pre-school, 6,663 in primary and 1,804 in secondary school), with an attendance rate of only 43 per cent for primary school and 66 per cent for secondary school. Activities for children in pre-school age are limited, and child-friendly spaces need to be created.

Impact on local Cameroonian population

In addition to the refugee influx, the ongoing conflict and adverse security conditions in the border areas have displaced thousands of Cameroonian nationals and had a considerable impact on the daily life of residents. Agriculture, cross-border trade and other crucial activities have been disrupted. Military operations prevent civilians from moving around freely, which negatively impacts a region that has a large nomadic/pastoralist population.

A coordinated multi-sectoral assessment has not yet been carried out, and the Government has so far only provided an estimated figure of 96,000 internally displaced persons (lDPs). A first profiling of the IDP population has been undertaken, identifying major population concentrations and needs; a more in-depth profiling providing detailed information on protection and assistance needs is being prepared. The highest concentration of IDPs is reportedly in Logone-et-Chari (39,853), Mayo-Tsanaga (29,200), and in Mayo Sava (26,989).

Vulnerabilities

Initial reports suggest that communities are providing shelter to large numbers of IDPs. In this context, the pre-existing vulnerabilities of communities living in the Far North, one of Cameroon’s most deprived regions, are an aggravating factor. The Far North has the highest prevalence of under-five chronic malnutrition, which is around 43 per cent. According to the 2014 SMART nutrition survey, 35 per cent of children below five suffer from chronic malnutrition, the third highest rate in the country. In addition, a high risk of water-related diseases exists due to the lack of adequate water and sanitation facilities in affected areas. The region is also known to be regularly affected by cholera outbreaks. With the cereal deficit of 2014 amounting to some 130,000 tons, vulnerability indicators have been consistently higher than in the rest of the country.

The IDPs who are currently living with families are thus putting a significant strain on the host communities’ meagre resources such as infrastructure (e.g. WASH and health care) and access to basic services (e.g. non-food items (NFIs) and food). In addition, some IDPs who have fled highly insecure zones may require psychosocial assistance. Reportedly, cases of child recruitment may be an issue in the areas where fighting is ongoing, requiring further assessment and response. With the prevailing security situation, access is challenging, and assistance delivered to IDPs has been very limited so far.

12

Strategy and coordination

In the present context, the protection and solutions vision for UNHCR aims at empowering the government, refugees and IDP/host communities to create a protective environment to address protection risks and violations of rights. Peaceful coexistence among refugee and host communities and host communities and IDPs respectively will be strengthened, while fostering community-based protection approaches to increase self-reliance. Maintaining the civilian character of asylum and access to territory in support of the government is a key priority. Access to basic services for refugees meets international standards, and community infrastructure projects are prioritized for IDPs and host communities. Increased resilience, empowerment and income-generating activities will be a focus early on in the response to ensure that durable solutions are initiated. As such:

A participatory and age, gender and diversity approach underpins all activities. Accountability to the affected population is an integral part of all stages of programme

interventions. Modern technologies will be used for data collection and analysis to the largest extent

possible. Cash-based interventions will be implemented where the market allows.

Based on the needs identified above, UNHCR and its partners will prioritize the following four strategic objectives to carry out its protection and solutions vision:

1. Strengthen the response to exploitation, abuse, violence and other protection risks, in particular on sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and child protection for refugees and IDPs in the Far North, using a community-based protection approach.

2. Reduce the vulnerability of IDPs, refugees and host communities affected by conflict in the Far North and improved living conditions with life-saving assistance and access to basic services.

3. Increase legal protection for refugees and IDPs in the Far North 4. Enhance the timeliness and predictability of the response through effective coordination for

refugee and IDP response.

UNHCR works closely with UNICEF, WFP, WHO, UN Women, IOM and UNFPA, as well as NGOs and local authorities to address issues related to protection, food security, WASH, and health and nutrition needs of refugees. UNHCR will coordinate the emergency response for refugees, IDPs and other affected populations in the Far North. UNHCR will continue leading the Protection sector and will be leading the Shelter/NFI sector as well as coordination of the overall inter-sectorial response. Timely, predictable and efficient coordination is a priority to provide effective assistance in this complex situation, in the Far North, with the involvement of multitude of actors. A joint understanding on which activities, locations and beneficiary groups need to be prioritized will require close coordination with all actors involved. In addition, the Government of Cameroon fulfils a strong leadership role that should be further strengthened rather than substituted.

Given the highly volatile security situation in the Far North, the implementation of some or several activities, especially for IDPs and host communities, will depend on humanitarian access and the safety of staff. Remote management through local partners and authorities could potentially be the only option for carrying out activities in certain areas.

One major constraint faced by UNHCR in terms of providing assistance and protection to refugees continues to be linked to the inaccessibility of areas where refugees have sought refuge. Several border villages are classified security level 5 (“no go zone”), thus precluding UNHCR from accessing these areas. In the past, military convoys were used to transport refugees who had agreed to be relocated to a transit centre in Kousseri. After a security screening by the Government, as well as

13

pre-registration and medical screening by UNHCR, refugees were subsequently transported to Minawao camp. However, a large number of refugees have refused to be relocated or changed their mind upon arrival at the transit centre.

Planned activities

CHAD

Existing response

At the end of 2014, just under 3,000 Nigerian refugees were registered in Chad. This figure changed in early January 2015, when insurgents attacked military installations and civilian populations in and around the north-east Nigerian town of Bagakawa, torching homes, allegedly killing hundreds and kidnapping many others. Since then, more than 15,000 Nigerian refugees have crossed Lake Chad by canoes and boats to enter Chad, fleeing attacks in Baga, Doro and Cross in northern Nigeria. Of these 15,000, almost 8,500 have already been registered by the Commission Nationale d’Accueil et de Réinsertion des Réfugiés et des Rapatriés (CNARR). Of these, 5,140 are now settled in the Dar Es Salam refugee camp. An additional 7,000 people are stranded on small islands awaiting transfer and assistance.

Following the arrival of large numbers of refugees in a scarcely populated and poor region, the Government revised the host-community approach and identified the Dar Es Salam site, which is located 70 kilometres from the Nigerian border. This site was opened to relocate both new arrivals and the most vulnerable refugees who arrived in 2013 and 2014.

Efforts are underway, in particular with the Governor of the Lake Region, to ensure that the gains of the community-based assistance approach are not lost with the establishment of the new site. Emergency response is taking place in priority areas of physical protection and relocation, food, water and sanitation, health and nutrition, as well as shelter. In collaboration with the Government of Chad and its line ministries, WFP, UNICEF, WHO, UNFPA, ACTED, MSF-Suisse, CRT, IMC, as well as other national and international partner agencies have intervened in this situation.

Several insurgent attacks in Ngouboua and surrounding areas in February and March 2015 prompted the Government and local authorities to strengthen security measures in this region and relocate refugees from Ngouboua to the safer area of Baga Sola.

The attacks in Ngouboua also displaced people in the area. The Humanitarian Country Team in Chad has asked UNHCR and IOM to carry out profiling exercises to get a better notion of IDP and returnee figures. Recent political developments in Nigeria may influence changes in the in the assumptions of this appeal, as far as Chad is concerned.

Several Inter-Agency and UNHCR-specific assessment missions have been conducted since the beginning of the year. The Dar Es Salaam site was established over an area of 232 hectares with the capacity to accommodate 15,000 persons.


As explained in the previous Appeal, the overall emergency response strategy of UNHCR in Chad is based on a host-community approach, as agreed with the local communities and the Government. The objective of the response is to ensure protection of the rights of all individuals, as enshrined in

19

refugee law and human rights, without any discrimination, including physical protection and safety. UNHCR and partners will work to mitigate any tensions between refugees and host communities.

Border and protection monitoring will be increased with a focus on the various isolated islands of Lake Chad. New arrivals will be identified, relocated and registered. To ensure peaceful coexistence between refugees and host communities, peace education and awareness-raising activities will be organized. To further ensure that the communities participate in the protection of the refugees, UNHCR and its partners will extend access to services to the host communities. Over 72 per cent of refugee children have never received formal education. Since the construction of 16 classrooms in the Dar Es Salam site, the Red Cross has registered 848 students. A total of 126 unaccompanied and separated children who have been identified are integrated in host families in the Dar Es Salam site. With regards to SGBV, a huge challenge still remains because of widespread early marriage, which affects young girls.

For the accommodation of refugees in the site, communal shelters, emergency shelters and permanent shelters are provided. When relocated from the islands on Lake Chad, refugees will be accommodated in communal shelters at a transit centre, where they undergo protection and health screening and receive medical and food assistance. As of 22 April 2015, 1,054 shelters, 280 latrines and 134 showers had been constructed, and in total 14 chlorinated water points where functioning. A supply of 50 litres per person per day was available, and refugees had been sensitized on the proper use and upkeep of water and sanitation equipment. Awareness campaigns are coupled with the distribution of hygiene kits throughout the month.

UNHCR and its partners aim to ensure access to preventive and curative health care and referral services; reduce mortality and morbidity among the refugees and the host population; provide reproductive health responses, including the prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission; and strengthen monitoring, evaluation and nutritional support to prevent or reduce the prevalence of malnutrition. As of 5 April 2015, a total of 977 children below the age of five had been examined in Baga Sola, and some 52 cases were identified as severely malnourished (35 refugees and 17 hosts Psychosocial support for victims who suffer from trauma is urgently needed.

In light of the socio-economic profile of refugee populations and the livelihoods activities undertaken by host communities, agricultural and fishery equipment will be made available to refugee and host population households who have the capacity to utilize these tools. On 5 April 2015, 573 people (286 women and 287 men) were trained and sensitized on environmental protection.

Prior to the most recent and consequential wave of arrivals, UNHCR’s overall emergency response strategy in Chad was based on a host-community approach, as agreed upon with the local communities and the Government. Following the events in Baga, the sudden influx of more than 15,000 new Nigerian refugees and the Government’s decision to have all newly arrived Nigerian refugees accommodated in a new site, the response strategy was adapted. Priority interventions focus on the development of the Dar Es Salam site and on the urgent relocation of refugees. Until the relocation process is complete, assistance will continue to be provided to in and out-of-camp refugees living with host communities and in the Dar Es Salam camp respectively. Emergency assistance will be followed by activities aiming at building the resilience of refugees.

UNHCR has established a Field Unit in Baga Sola and deployed an Emergency Coordinator, which will allow for better coordination with the authorities and partners on the ground.

UNHCR organizes regular coordination meetings at the N’Djamena and Baga Sola level, with all relevant stakeholders and partners.

NIGER

Existing response

At the beginning of 2015, the Niger authorities estimated that the number of displaced people from Nigeria was well above 100,000. This figure comprises Nigerian refugees, returning Niger nationals and a large group of undetermined nationality. This mixed flow of displaced people is taking place in Diffa region, which is an area covering more than 28,000 square kilometres in the southeast of the country. According to authorities, the number of displaced persons will reach 130,000 at the end of 2015.

In February 2015, the violence in Nigeria spilled over into the Diffa region. The conflict between Nigerian insurgents and the armies of Niger and Chad created an additional wave of forced displacement. Authorities estimate the number of IDPs in Diffa to be some 50,000 people.

The armed conflict in Diffa region has led to the declaration of a state of emergency and the banning of economic activities, such as the use of motorbikes and fishing boats. In addition, land mines are becoming a serious threat to agriculture and animal husbandry.

The outflow of Nigerians, returning nationals and a small number of third country nationals into Niger is likely to continue in 2015. The total displaced population now represents over one third of Diffa region’s total population. The host population’s absorption capacity and available basic social services are already overstretched. A month after the harvest in November 2014, over 50 per cent of the Diffa population, including refugees and returnees, were affected by food insecurity. At the end of 2014, the Government of Niger requested that UNHCR assist with the opening of three refugee camps. The existing response therefore includes both in- and out-of-camp assistance and protection activities.

Most IDPs are from the Diffa and Bosso towns, and since March 2015, a new IDP movement is arriving from the islands of Lake Chad into mainland. Insecurity on Lake Chad, which is an economic hub in the Diffa region, and the breach of exchanges between Diffa and Nigeria’s neighbouring State of Borno have had a serious impact on the socio-economic situation of the entire population. Food, water, fuel and wood prices have risen by more than 25 per cent.

The peaceful coexistence between host communities and displaced populations has been threatened following hostilities on Niger soil in February 2015, and host communities are now less willing to accommodate displaced persons. Furthermore, the February attacks pointed to the need for the contingency response capacity to be increased both for internal movement and new influxes from Nigeria.


UNHCR’s strategy in Niger is community-based and has been elaborated in cooperation with the Government and agencies such as WFP, UNICEF, OCHA, IOM, as well as other partners. Since the beginning of the crisis, UNHCR has developed a two-pronged strategy:

“Fast lane” assistance focused on emergency activities in the sectors of shelter, health, water, food and non-food items, including innovative voucher fairs for newly-arrived refugees, as well as protection. Protection mechanism and activities will be strongly reinforced, and assistance now includes the set up and maintenance of the camps/sites for Nigerian refugees and other displaced populations;

24

The “slow lane” is based in structural and development-linked investments to support the resilience of individuals (e.g. socio-economic empowerment) and to strengthen access for all (i.e. refugees, returnees and host communities) to basic social services and needs (i.e. health, education, water, sustainable shelter and energy) in a sustainable manner.

This strategy is based on five main elements:

Accompany authorities in their task without substituting them. This will limit the risk of a humanitarian vacuum in the aftermath of the crisis, as well as promote local development processes. A management unit at the governorate level will be created with UNHCR funding.

Work through a community-based approach for optimal targeting of beneficiaries and the application of protection mechanisms.

Regain access to insecure areas, such as the islands of Lake Chad, by setting up a remote management mechanism.

Increase the response capacity if new population movements occur, either internally or from Nigeria, by setting up a contingency site in Goudoumaria and sub-office in Zinder. This will allow for support of the Diffa office and facilitate the creation of protection and assistance programmes for the affected population (i.e. Nigerian refugees, displaced people of undetermined nationality, host families, and internally displaced).

Strengthen data management, which is a prerequisite for effective coordination, and allow authorities and humanitarian actors to gain a better understanding of the intervention context, needs and opportunities.

Strong advocacy activities will be undertaken to help protect IDPs, returnees and persons with a high risk of statelessness. UNHCR will lead and coordinate the protection cluster and a Shelter/NFI working group will be activated, led by the Government (Diffa Permanent Regional Secretary) and specifically supported by UNHCR.

NIGERIA

Existing response

In June 2014, the United Nations System in Nigeria set up a Task Team to develop an Integrated Support Package (ISP) for the immediate and long-term needs of the affected populations in north-east Nigeria. The Task Team’s priorities in Nigeria are the provision of food and non-food items and the strengthening of health services and early recovery support. The Humanitarian Country Team (HCT), constituted in July 2012, has put nine sector working groups in place, of which the Protection Sector Working Group (PSWG) is jointly led by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and UNHCR.


The objectives of the protection strategy, agreed at the inter-agency level, include: profiling of IDPs with special needs under the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM); prevention and response measures for SGBV; and activities related to child protection and children’s rights. These activities will be carried out by UNHCR in partnership with the Government, relevant UN partners and NGOs. Under Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM), capacity building of the State and federal agencies, as well as NGOs, will continue in 2015. For Shelter and NFIs, UNHCR will support IDPs with special needs in partnership with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the State Emergency Management Agencies (SEMAs), as well as UN agencies and NGOs. In light of the most recent developments, UNHCR is also engaging the HCT to prepare for any returns once conditions are conducive, and to monitor such returns, as well as to initiate measures for early recovery/reconstruction in support of the authorities.

The protection strategy includes four main components, which are listed below.

Strengthening protection monitoring: UNHCR will collaborate with the National Human Rights Commission, national NGOs and civil society in undertaking protection monitoring, profiling of specific protection issues through an age, gender and diversity mainstreaming approach. Response programmes in the states hosting IDPs will be developed on the basis of the defined protection strategy.

Capacity building: UNHCR will participate in reinforcing the institutional capacity of state agencies such as the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and State Emergency Management Agencies (SEMAs) as well as other relevant national and state bodies by promoting training on basic

28

principles of protection and camp coordination and camp management. The capacity of the Protection Sector Working Group (PSWG) will be reinforced by assigning relevant staff to facilitate coordination, and by investing in the capacity and expertise of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) as a co-lead of the PSWG along with UNHCR.

Advocacy for the adoption of a national framework: Support to the authorities is needed to implement the Convention for the Protection and Assistance of Internally Displaced Persons in Africa (Kampala Convention) ratified by the African Union in May 2012. UNHCR will undertake necessary action to foster the enactment of the relevant national legislation, to enhance the legal protection of IDPs in Nigeria.

Shelter/NFI support: UNHCR and its partners will provide tailor-made emergency shelters and

emergency NFI assistance to the most vulnerable IDPs.
